Levels of Service for Roads.
I draw everyone's attention to the AUS-SPEC Road Reserve Maintenance System.
This is a pro active systems approach to Road Reserve Maintenance across 34 categories of defects.
AUS-SPEC is an IPWEA initiative and has been operating in many Councils Australia Wide for many years.
It is an MS Word document that sets up 4 road traffic scores for different categories of road.
Intervention levels, Compulsory Intervention levels are set by Council (with excellent guidance provided in the document to assist with set up) and also recommended response times.
The whole system can be set up on Excel Spreadsheets or smart phones in the field.
AUS-SPEC is a joint venture between IPWEA National and NATSPEC (a National Not For Profit and Government related specification provider).
Look up
https://www.natspec.com.au/products/local-government-specifications/aus-spec-maintenanceNote, it can be used to outsource maintenance or as a procedure for day labour staff.
Once the roads are set up then the same system has been developed and can be used for Parks and Recreation Areas and then Buildings and Facilities Maintenance.
For further information call Nandini Mehta, National AUS-SPEC Manager (02) 9321 7201 or e mail
nmehta@natspec.com.auA wealth of "Tech Guides"are also available as well as case studies on the web page.

Hi Santosh,
Id be really interested to hear of any private responses you may get. Defined service levels outside of inspection schedules for civil works teams seems to be hard to come by.
Thanks,
Paul

Hello Everyone,
I would like to know if any Council in Western Australia have developed level of service document for Operations in Civil Works Department. I would like to upgrade our document and I wanted to check if anyone is willing to share the same.
Main Roads do have network inspection guidelines which some of the Councils have adopted to provide level of service to the residents but in my opinion it would be beneficial to have an independent document for every City.
Thanks and Regards,
Santosh Amasi
